The Miracle of Freedom: Seven Tipping Points that Saved the World

Authors: Chris Stewart, Ted Stewart
Published: 2011
Genre: Non-fiction
Rating: 3

Summary
Today, fewer than 12 of the 193 countries in the world have a democratic government that has survived for more than fifty years. So, what extraordinary events in history have made it possible for us to enjoy self-rule and personal liberty? And what role has the hand of God played in securing that freedom?

In this remarkable new book, bestselling authors Chris Stewart and Ted Stewart highlight seven miracles that changed the course of the world. Skillfully weaving story vignettes with historical explanations, they affirm that history would have been dramatically altered if any one of these events had turned out differently.

Review
An interesting but not compelling read. Some of the less-well-known historical events are interesting to ponder. Worth reading for some of the insights and postulates.
